Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

** Blogger's Note:Sources are telling Mayor Sam Blog that Dr. Ralph Pacheco is being pressured by DEMOCRATIC STATE ASSEMBLY SPEAKER ANTHONY RENDON to endorse Hahn. Pacheco has a long history of bucking the political party line in the past by endorsing several GOP members against key Democratic office holders. This sign popped up in front of Pacheco's Uptown Whitter business office. No formal announcement of the Pacheco-Napolitiano Alliance has been made public, but sources with keen knowledge of the situation tell Mayor Sam Blog, "it's a done deal."
